Dinosaur Stamping

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

RAWR! Today I have a dinosaur look inspired by Nail Stamp 4 Fun!

For this look I used Winstonia W216 and W220, along with White French Creme from Wet n Wild, and some Color Club neons.

This look was much harder than I anticipated, so I'm sure you will see me trying it again in the future! 

Swirl Stamping

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a girly swirly stamping look!

I started off with two coats of Wet n Wild Megalast On A Trip. On A Trip is a dark lavender. 

I used Essie Penny Talk and Winstonia plate W203 to stamp on the swirls. 

I am in love with this stamping image. There are so many possibilities!

Do you have a favorite stamping image? If so, which one? If not, what would you like to try?

Summer Stamping with KKCenterHK

 * The following products were sent to me for my honest review. For more information, please visit my disclosure policy.*

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have two stamping items to share with you from KKCenterHK. Overall, I was impressed with both products and would definitely order them in the future.

The first item I used was the N.NAIL Summer Beach Bikini Shell Sun Seaweed Soft Stamping [NNAIL-SPPNGA09]. This soft stamper features a rope, wheel, anchor, seashells, seaweed, a bikini, and a sun image. To use this stamper, paint the polish over the image and dab it on paper until the excess is gone. Then, you can stamp it directly onto your nail. It takes a lot of practice, so be patient. This soft stamper retails for $7.79USD. 

I used the rope and anchor images for this mani, along with some random drugstore polishes.

The second item I used was the N.Nail Mini Size Iron Scraper & Size Stamp Set [JR1140], which retails for $4.05USD. This is the perfect sized mini stamper, as it is not too large or too small. The only compliant I have is that the scraper is not an iron scraper as the website says, it is a plastic scraper. Besides that, I was impressed.

I used Winstonia Plate W111, along with some random drugstore polishes. 

You can order these directly from KKCenterHK here: kkcenterhk.com.

That is all I have for today Lacquer Lovers! I'll be back later this week with some other cool reviews. :)

Snowflakes

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a super cute snowflake mani to show you! 

I'm not completely sure where I first saw this mani, as I've seen it quite a few times by different bloggers. If you know who came up with this idea, please let me know and I will happily credit them. :)
[Edited on 12.29.13 to add that thanks to one of my readers, the source has been found! I first saw this look from Fox Claws.]

I started off with two coats of Rimmel London Black Satin. Then I applied one coat of JessieGeeWhiz Tidepool. I used Winstonia plate W120 and an unlabeled Pure Ice silver for the snowflakes. I topped it off with Essie Matte About You and some colorful rhinestones.

Let me know what you think in the comments! <3

OPI & Apple Pie!

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a review of an oldie, but a goodie!

This is OPI's OPI & Apple Pie, which is a rich caramel color.

Since it is a black label OPI, it is older; therefore, it has a pretty distinct smell. It was nothing unbearable. It reminded me of the 'nail salon smell'. 

It was opaque in 2 coats and had a descent dry time. I was impressed!

 I couldn't leave it alone, so I stamped it with Zoya Louise using Winstonia Store's plate W109.

That's it for today loves! I'll talk to you again on Sunday! <3

Mermaid Tales!

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a mini review and some nail art featuring Sation polishes! 

The tales about mermaids that float around the world fascinate me, so what better than to do a mermaid tales inspired manicure!

Check out the mini review and the mermaid inspired nail art after the jump! :)

Summer Floral & Gradient

Today I have a cute summer floral and gradient design for you! It's super cute and very easy to do if you have the right tools! You'll find more information after the jump! :]

 Winstonia Stamping Plate W110
I only used the middle flower image for this design. It really was a hit or miss stamp. It worked well on my middle and pinkie fingers and on the rest of the fingers there are errors. The image may have gotten smudged, it didn't lay down right, or parts of the image was missing.
*The problems stated above could have been user error.









 I started off with one coat of Wet n Wild French White Creme. I then, using a triangle makeup sponge, sponged on a gradient. I went over it twice for a nice, bright coverage. I stamped over the gradient with Sinful Colors Black on Black. I then topped it off with top coat.

Essie Smooth Sailing 
 Smooth Sailing is the first color of my gradient. Essie usually has the issue of seeing the shimmer in the bottle, but not on the nail. I am proud to say that I did not have any issue with that. The same shimmer that was in the bottle, is the same shimmer on my nail, even though I sponged it on.
Smooth Sailing is a very pretty blueish-purple polish with a shimmer finish.

Essie Super Bossa Nova
Super Bossa Nova is the next color of my gradient. Like Smooth Sailing, the shimmer transferred very well. I would definitely use this for another mani!
Super Bossa Nova is a hot pink polish with a shimmer finish.

Essie Braziliant
Braziliant is the last color of the gradient. The shimmer also transferred very well.
Braziliant is an orange polish with a shimmer finish.











Overall, I really like the look of this mani. It is very summery and shimmery!

Bathing Suit Stamping!

Today I have a super quick post for you! It is the first day of a challenge I'm doing!

Please excuse the stamping; I have a horrible headache and painful sunburn today, so I didn't think I'd even post. :(

I used an unnamed Color Club for the neon yellow and Sinful Colors Unicorn for the pale yellow. I used Sinful Colors Black on Black to stamp. The stamping plates used were Winstonia plate W106 and W112.

That's all I have for today! Have a great week! :)
